Does he not sow the black cummin
And scatter the cummin,
Plant the wheat in rows,
The barley in the appointed place,
And the1 spelt in its place?
Nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin;
But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick,
And the cummin with a rod.
Therefore he does not thresh it forever,
Break it with his cartwheel,
Or crush it with his horsemen.
| << Isaiah 28:26 | Isaiah 28:28 >> |
